Male Executives Don't Feel Guilt, See Work-Life Balance As A Women's Problem

Male Executives Feel 'Work-Life Balance' Is A Women's Issue

Harvard Business School professor Boris Groysberg and research associate Robin Abrahams looked at interviews of nearly 4,000 C-suite executives conducted by HBS students from 2008-2013. Forty-four percent of the interviewees were female. And while the men and women often had the same job titles, the similarities stopped there.
